Jesús alimenta a cuatro mil(A)(B)

En aquellos días se reunió de nuevo mucha gente. Como no tenían nada que comer, Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:

―Siento compasión de esta gente, porque ya llevan tres días conmigo y no tienen nada que comer. Si los despido a sus casas sin haber comido, se van a desmayar por el camino, porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.

Los discípulos objetaron:

―¿Dónde se va a conseguir suficiente pan en este lugar despoblado para darles de comer?

―¿Cuántos panes tenéis? —preguntó Jesús.

―Siete —respondieron.

Entonces mandó que la gente se sentara en el suelo. Tomando los siete panes, dio gracias, los partió y se los fue dando a sus discípulos para que los repartieran a la gente, y así lo hicieron. Tenían además unos cuantos pescaditos. Dio gracias por ellos también y les dijo a los discípulos que los repartieran. La gente comió hasta quedar satisfecha. Después los discípulos recogieron siete cestas llenas de pedazos que sobraron. Los que comieron eran unos cuatro mil. Tan pronto como los despidió, 10 Jesús se embarcó con sus discípulos y se fue a la región de Dalmanuta.

11 Llegaron los fariseos y comenzaron a discutir con Jesús. Para ponerlo a prueba, le pidieron una señal del cielo. 12 Él lanzó un profundo suspiro y dijo:[a] «¿Por qué pide esta generación una señal milagrosa? Os aseguro que no se le dará ninguna señal». 13 Entonces los dejó, volvió a embarcarse y cruzó al otro lado.

La levadura de los fariseos y la de Herodes

14 A los discípulos se les había olvidado llevar comida, y solo tenían un pan en la barca.

15 ―Tened cuidado —les advirtió Jesús—; ¡ojo con la levadura de los fariseos y con la de Herodes!

16 Ellos comentaban entre sí: «Lo dice porque no tenemos pan». 17 Al darse cuenta de esto, Jesús les dijo:

―¿Por qué estáis hablando acerca de que no tenéis pan? ¿Aún no veis ni entendéis? ¿Tenéis la mente embotada? 18 ¿Es que teniendo ojos, no veis, y oídos, no oís? ¿Es que acaso no os acordáis? 19 Cuando partí los cinco panes para los cinco mil, ¿cuántas canastas llenas de pedazos recogisteis?

―Doce —respondieron.

20 ―Y, cuando partí los siete panes para los cuatro mil, ¿cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogisteis?

―Siete.

21 Entonces concluyó:

―¿Y todavía no entendéis?

Jesús sana a un ciego en Betsaida

22 Cuando llegaron a Betsaida, algunas personas llevaron un ciego a Jesús y le rogaron que lo tocase. 23 Tomando de la mano al ciego, lo sacó fuera del pueblo. Después de escupirle en los ojos y de poner las manos sobre él, le preguntó:

―¿Puedes ver ahora?

24 El hombre alzó los ojos y dijo:

―Veo gente; parecen árboles que caminan.

25 Entonces le puso de nuevo las manos sobre los ojos, y el ciego fue curado: recobró la vista y comenzó a ver todo con claridad. 26 Jesús lo mandó a su casa con esta advertencia:

―No vayas a entrar en el pueblo.[b]

La confesión de Pedro(C)

27 Jesús y sus discípulos salieron hacia las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo. En el camino les preguntó:

―¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?

28 ―Unos dicen que Juan el Bautista, otros que Elías, y otros que uno de los profetas —contestaron.

29 ―Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo?

―Tú eres el Cristo —afirmó Pedro.

30 Jesús les ordenó que no hablaran a nadie acerca de él.

Jesús predice su muerte(D)

31 Luego comenzó a enseñarles:

―El Hijo del hombre tiene que sufrir muchas cosas y ser rechazado por los ancianos, por los jefes de los sacerdotes y por los maestros de la ley. Es necesario que lo maten y que a los tres días resucite.

32 Habló de esto con toda claridad. Pedro lo llevó aparte y comenzó a reprenderlo. 33 Pero Jesús se dio la vuelta, miró a sus discípulos, y reprendió a Pedro.

―¡Aléjate de mí, Satanás! —le dijo—. Tú no piensas en las cosas de Dios, sino en las de los hombres.

34 Entonces llamó a la multitud y a sus discípulos.

―Si alguien quiere ser mi discípulo —les dijo—, que se niegue a sí mismo, lleve su cruz y me siga. 35 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por mi causa y por el evangelio la salvará. 36 ¿De qué sirve ganar el mundo entero si se pierde la vida? 37 ¿O qué se puede dar a cambio de la vida? 38 Si alguien se avergüenza de mí y de mis palabras en medio de esta generación adúltera y pecadora, también el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará de él cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.

It was during that time that another large crowd gathered, and they had nothing to eat. Yeshua called his talmidim to him and said to them, “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me three days, and now they have nothing to eat. If I send them off to their homes hungry, they will collapse on the way; some of them have come a long distance.” His talmidim said to him, “How can anyone find enough bread to satisfy these people in a remote place like this?” “How many loaves do you have?” he asked them. They answered, “Seven.” He then told the crowd to sit down on the ground, took the seven loaves, made a b’rakhah, broke the loaves and gave them to his talmidim to serve to the people. They also had a few fish; making a b’rakhah over them he also ordered these to be served. The people ate their fill; and the talmidim took up the leftover pieces, seven large basketsful. About four thousand were there. 10 After sending them away, Yeshua got into the boat with his talmidim and went off to the district of Dalmanuta.

11 The P’rushim came and began arguing with him; they wanted him to give them a sign from Heaven, because they were out to trap him. 12 With a sigh that came straight from his heart, he said, “Why does this generation want a sign? Yes! I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation!” 13 With that, he left them, got into the boat again and went off to the other side of the lake.

14 Now the talmidim had forgotten to bring bread and had with them in the boat only one loaf. 15 So when Yeshua said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves from the hametz of the P’rushim and the hametz of Herod,” 16 they thought he had said it because they had no bread. 17 But, aware of this, he said, “Why are you talking with each other about having no bread? Don’t you see or understand yet? Have your hearts been made like stone? 18 You have eyes — don’t you see? You have ears — don’t you hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered him. 20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they answered. 21 He said to them, “And you still don’t understand?”

22 They came to Beit-Tzaidah. Some people brought him a blind man and begged Yeshua to touch him. 23 Taking the blind man’s hand, he led him outside the town. He spit in his eyes, put his hands on him and asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 He looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like walking trees.” 25 Then he put his hands on the blind man’s eyes again. He peered intently, and his eyesight was restored, so that he could see everything distinctly. 26 Yeshua sent him home with the words, “Don’t go into town.”

27 Yeshua and his talmidim went on to the towns of Caesarea Philippi. On the way, he asked his talmidim, “Who are people saying I am?” 28 “Some say you are Yochanan the Immerser,” they told him, “others say Eliyahu, and still others, one of the prophets.” 29 “But you,” he asked, “who do you say I am?” Kefa answered, “You are the Mashiach.” 30 Then Yeshua warned them not to tell anyone about him. 31 He began teaching them that the Son of Man had to endure much suffering and be rejected by the elders, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers; and that he had to be put to death; but that after three days, he had to rise again. 32 He spoke very plainly about it. Kefa took him aside and began rebuking him. 33 But, turning around and looking at his talmidim, he rebuked Kefa. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said, “For your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God’s perspective!”

34 Then Yeshua called the crowd and his talmidim to him and told them, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him say ‘No’ to himself, take up his execution-stake, and keep following me. 35 For whoever wants to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will save it. 36 Indeed, what will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? 37 What could a person give in exchange for his life? 38 For if someone is ashamed of me and of what I say in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(A)(B)(C)

During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(D) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”

His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied.

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.(E) The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(F) About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.(G) 12 He sighed deeply(H) and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast(I) of the Pharisees(J) and that of Herod.”(K)

16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?(L) 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”

“Twelve,”(M) they replied.

20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”

They answered, “Seven.”(N)

21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”(O)

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 They came to Bethsaida,(P) and some people brought a blind man(Q) and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit(R) on the man’s eyes and put his hands on(S) him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(T)

27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”

28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(U) others say Elijah;(V) and still others, one of the prophets.”

29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”(W)

30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.(X)

Jesus Predicts His Death(Y)

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(Z) must suffer many things(AA) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AB) and that he must be killed(AC) and after three days(AD) rise again.(AE) 32 He spoke plainly(AF) about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!”(AG) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

The Way of the Cross

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AH) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(AI) 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man(AJ) will be ashamed of them(AK) when he comes(AL) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Speisung der Viertausend

In jenen Tagen, als sehr viel Volk zugegen war und sie nichts zu essen hatten, rief Jesus seine Jünger zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: Mich jammert das Volk; denn sie verharren nun schon drei Tage bei mir und haben nichts zu essen. Und wenn ich sie nüchtern nach Hause entlasse, so werden sie auf dem Wege erliegen; denn etliche von ihnen sind von weither gekommen.

Und seine Jünger antworteten ihm: Woher könnte jemand diese hier in der Wüste mit Brot sättigen? Und er fragte sie: Wie viele Brote habt ihr? Sie sprachen: Sieben.

Und er befahl dem Volke, sich auf die Erde niederzusetzen, und nahm die sieben Brote, dankte, brach sie und gab sie seinen Jüngern, damit sie sie vorlegten. Und sie legten sie dem Volke vor.

Sie hatten auch noch einige Fischlein; und nach einem Segensspruch befahl er, auch diese vorzulegen. Und sie aßen und wurden satt und hoben an übriggebliebenen Brocken noch sieben Körbe auf. Es waren ihrer etwa viertausend; und er entließ sie.

Die Pharisäer verlangen ein Zeichen vom Himmel

10 Und alsbald stieg er mit seinen Jüngern in das Schiff und kam in die Gegend von Dalmanutha.

11 Und die Pharisäer gingen hinaus und fingen an, sich mit ihm zu besprechen, indem sie von ihm ein Zeichen vom Himmel forderten, um ihn auf die Probe zu stellen. 12 Und er seufzte in seinem Geiste und sprach: Warum fordert dieses Geschlecht ein Zeichen? Wahrlich, ich sage euch, es wird diesem Geschlecht kein Zeichen gegeben werden.

13 Und er ließ sie, stieg wieder in das Schiff und fuhr ans jenseitige Ufer.

14 Und sie hatten vergessen, Brote mitzunehmen, und hatten nur ein Brot bei sich im Schiff. 15 Und er gebot ihnen und sprach: Sehet zu, hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und vor dem Sauerteig des Herodes!

16 Und sie besprachen sich untereinander und sagten: Weil wir kein Brot haben!

17 Und als es Jesus merkte, sprach er zu ihnen: Was machet ihr euch Gedanken darüber, daß ihr kein Brot habt? Verstehet ihr noch nicht und begreifet ihr noch nicht? Habt ihr noch euer verhärtetes Herz? 18 Habt Augen und sehet nicht, Ohren und höret nicht? Und denket ihr nicht daran, 19 als ich die fünf Brote brach für die Fünftausend, wieviel Körbe voll Brocken ihr aufgehoben habt? Sie sprachen zu ihm: Zwölf!

20 Und als ich die sieben für die Viertausend brach, wieviel Körbe voll Brocken habt ihr aufgehoben? Sie sprachen: Sieben! 21 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Was seid ihr denn noch so unverständig?

Jesus heilt einen Blinden

22 Und sie kommen nach Bethsaida; und man bringt einen Blinden zu ihm und bittet ihn, daß er ihn anrühre. 23 Und er nahm den Blinden bei der Hand und führte ihn vor das Dorf hinaus, spie ihm in die Augen, legte ihm die Hände auf und fragte ihn, ob er etwas sähe.

24 Und er blickte auf und sprach: Ich sehe die Leute, als sähe ich wandelnde Bäume!

25 Hierauf legte er noch einmal die Hände auf seine Augen und ließ ihn aufblicken; und er wurde wieder hergestellt und sah alles deutlich. 26 Und er schickte ihn in sein Haus und sprach: Du sollst nicht ins Dorf hineingehen, noch es jemandem im Dorfe sagen!

„Für wen halten mich die Leute?“ Bekenntnis des Petrus

27 Und Jesus ging samt seinen Jüngern hinaus in die Dörfer bei Cäsarea Philippi; und auf dem Wege fragte er seine Jünger und sprach zu ihnen: Für wen halten mich die Leute?

28 Sie antworteten: Die einen sagen, du seiest Johannes der Täufer; und andere, du seiest Elia; andere aber, du seiest einer der Propheten.

29 Und er fragte sie: Ihr aber, für wen haltet ihr mich? Da antwortete Petrus und sprach zu ihm: Du bist der Christus!

30 Und er gebot ihnen ernstlich, daß sie das niemandem von ihm sagen sollten.

Jesu Ankündigung seines Leidens und Sterbens. Preis der Nachfolge

31 Und er fing an, sie zu lehren, daß des Menschen Sohn viel leiden und von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten verworfen und getötet werden müsse und nach drei Tagen wieder auferstehen. 32 Und er redete das Wort ganz unverhohlen. Und Petrus nahm ihn beiseite und fing an, ihm zu wehren. 33 Er aber wandte sich um und sah seine Jünger an und schalt den Petrus und sprach: Weiche hinter mich, Satan! Denn du denkst nicht göttlich, sondern menschlich!

34 Und er rief das Volk samt seinen Jüngern zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: Wer mir nachkommen will, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir nach! 35 Denn wer seine Seele[a] retten will, der wird sie verlieren; wer aber seine Seele verliert um meinetwillen und um des Evangeliums willen, der wird sie retten. 36 Denn was hülfe es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewönne und büßte seine Seele[b] ein? 37 Oder was will ein Mensch zum Lösegeld seiner Seele geben? 38 Denn wer sich meiner und meiner Worte schämt unter diesem ehebrecherischen und sündigen Geschlecht, dessen wird sich auch des Menschen Sohn schämen, wenn er kommen wird in der Herrlichkeit seines Vaters mit den heiligen Engeln.

  1. Markus 8:35 o. sein Leben
  2. Markus 8:36 o. sein Leben

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
